Many people here in the US drive over an hour one way just to get to work everyday. And yes...many are spoiled with their big SUV's and trucks.

My grandson plays soccer for his high school, and there are several games. I drive an hour to his house at least two times a week, then my daughter and I drive an hour to the "away" games. Two days ago I was with her when she filled up with gas for her SUV...her bill was $102.00.

Maybe romney will be elected and then we will drill our own and not buy yours any more. Ever think of that? It would also foil Obama's big plans to Bankrupt the coal industry as well as removed some of the tens of thousands of regulations he has put on all this.

If we're the asshole of the world I guess that makes Canada the hemmerhoid of the world as there you are stuck right to us.

One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Gas is a commodity traded on the market like wheat or pork bellies. It just so happens to also be a national security issue if it races upwards like commodities sometimes do. Cities can erupt in violence, businesses can fail and regimes can fall along with this commodity index should it become too volatile. Welcome to the beginning of the end of our entitlement prosperity (that supposedly entitles Americans to non-market forces) should it spiral out if control.

The gas prices in the US are ridiculously cheap compared to the litre price of approx. 1,75€ Germany, let alone some European countries with even higher prices like the Netherlands or Norway.

I have no clue whatsoever why you should panick due to such laughable prices per gallon in your country, which, by the way, literally controls the world's oil prices by its military might and it's epic financial fraud via a completely manipulated $ value.

Don't COMPARE Europe to USA. In Europe you have public transportation, buses, trains, taxis, cities are all squeezed in together, you can walk anywhere, stores are everywhere by house, apartments etc. In USA it is requirement to have a car to get anywhere.

Re: Tweets from around the U.S. " long lines at gas stations right now!" Panic buying! Fights!

you know guys, people turn into animals when panic.

Now for sure what will happen in the US will be quite entertaining considering panic is the common mindset

that will finally reveal that behind a smoked glass of civilisation US is surely worst that any african country where people usually solve their everyday issues with the use of a machete

You are totally FOS as the facts bear out. You do not see us in a panic even in the midst of hurricanes, earthquakes WTC collapse or anything else and it is not us who are burning property and cars in the streets just for the hell of it. That would be you eurotards.

Please cite examples of when and how we have panicked as I contend we are among the least so inclined on the planet. I persoanlly have never seen any panic in my entire life.

Every time someone in EU mentions that I have to ask this... What do you consider a long trip? I have to drive 60 miles round trip just to get groceries. Spaces and towns are a bit farther apart in the USA.

Quoting: MaryAlananB

I know, it pisses me off when I read that too. Not only are things more spread out here, for the most part we DO NOT have much in the way of public transportation. In the area where I live unless you are going to a few specific towns, there is no train service. Bus service is awful and sparse. My husband's commute is 120 miles round trip. How many of you in EU have a commute like that?
